    Expressions 2020 is Drawing Close

    The 2020 Expressions art event is getting closer. The COVID-19 pandemic has made us change the way Carey Services’ annual exhibition of creative expression is presented. It hasn’t, however, dampened the enthusiasm of the artists and staff in the Creative Hearts Art Studio.

    Join us the week of Sept. 28 through Oct. 2 as we celebrate the work of the studio’s artists and staff through online presentations on our Facebook page. You’ll also be able to buy art pieces in the studio’s online store. And, in what has become an Expressions tradition, we’ll have an auction for selected art pieces. The auction this year also will be conducted online and run the entire week of the event. As always, the artists will receive 60 percent of all proceeds from art purchases.

    You can find more details on the Expressions web page

    2020 Duck Race Winners Announced

    Thank you to everyone who supported the 14th annual Carey Services Duck Race, which was presented this year by Marion General Hospital.

    It’s been great to see the community support we’ve received in these unique times, and we truly appreciate all of you who sponsored this year’s race and/or bought duck tickets. Thank you also for tuning in to watch the Facebook Live broadcast from The Splash House. It was a great day to be at a water park … if only we could have taken a trip around the lazy river after we gathered the ducks after their annual swim. Hopefully next year, we can actually get wet.

    Congratulations, too, to this year’s winners. The cash winners were: $1,000 cash – Angela Pennington, $500 cash – Mike Roorbach, $300 cash – Agricore, $200 cash – John Bottoms, $100 cash – Agricore. The door prize winners were: OGIO golf travel bag donated by John Jones – Kristie Butcher, Holiday World admission tickets – Gary Masiongale, Rolling golf caddy from Northwest Bank – Gary Masiongale, $30 in Visa gift cards – Peerless Printing, $15 in Visa gift cards – Doug Bryant.

    As we put the ducks to bed for another year, the real race winners every year are the individuals we serve. Your generous support allows us to use the money raised through the race to continue turning abilities into opportunities.

    Agency Still has NAP Credits Available

    It’s NAP time … No, we’re not talking about needing a rest from all the holiday festivities (although that’s not a bad idea), we’re talking about Neighborhood Assistance Program tax credits.

    As you ponder your year-end financial status and donations, NAP credits mean 50 percent of your donation to Carey Services will be a state tax credit — not a deduction — and you also can count the donation toward federal tax deductions, if you itemize.

    For more information about NAP credits and year-end donations, call Greg Maynard, director of fund development, at (765) 668-8961, ext. 124, or email him at gmaynard@careyservices.com.
